Question 1
Of the following strategies, the best way for teachers to promote early writing among younger preschool children is to:
◦ provide early alphabet games and activities which teach letter names and sounds.
◦ create an extensive art center and encourage children to draw.
◦ provide small motor activities, such as puzzles or manipulatives.
◦ create an extensive writing center and encourage children to write in whatever way they choose.
Question 2
As a teacher is reading a young child a picture book, she comes to a page with an illustration and no print, so she stops reading. The child protests, "Read that page!" The most likely explanation for the child's response is that:
◦ the child doesn't notice that the page has no printed words.
◦ the child has constructed a mental scheme of the book in which individual pages and story segments are believed to be connected.
◦ the child believes that the teacher is reading the illustrations on each page.
◦ the child is upset that the author did not include text on the page.
